When we were working on Dangerous 5.18E, Rhymefest told me about a variety of songs he had recorded with different themes. One song he spoke about was a story about falling in love with a Mermaid, who then traps him under water. I had a Ron Burgundy moment and actually thought it was a joke. He made sure that I knew he was serious, and tonight the storied “Mermaid” track hit my inbox. Let the underwater adventure begin. Download it below. If you haven’t picked up El Che yet, it is in stores now and available here.

Rhymefest talks about his new project “El Che” and why it took so long to be released. Talks about getting out of his record deal.
He also mentions that labels wanted him to do things he did not feel right in doing. “A song with kanye West aint gon help me” and much more.

In Part 2 of Good*Fella Media meets Rhymefest, they touch on having an ear for upcoming artist, watching Kanye and Eminem become iconic in front of his eyes, Playing his position in Hip Hop, and not being able to vote when Obama ran for office.
